Set in 45 acres of garden and pasture, surrounded by two lakes, the working farm estate resplendent with trees of Neem, Ashoka, Peepal and Mango, is a very special and ultimately serene oasis. Healthy cows graze languidly in peaceful co-existence with peacocks, an entire menagerie of birds fill the Bagh with birdsong and the occasional blue bull and jackal flit silently amongst the woods. |

Walking trails skirt the lakes, hammocks and charpoys are located at scenic spots to relax, read, meditate or watch spectacular sunsets. Go boating on the lakes, surrounded by hundreds of wild fowl which swoop and circle in formation or simply float away, soaking in the winter sun, pristine sky and water. |

A gentle family consisting of the present Raja and his two sisters, with his two nephews and their wifes and children live in this garden retreat as the owners and are more than happy to entertain and swap tales with their guests. However, by living in a separate residence, guests may enjoy their privacy as much as they wish, and may chose to dine alone if so desired. |

Evenings are spent mingling with other guests at the formal drawing room or under the stars around a flickering fire nursing your favourite poison. In the end, Shahpura Bagh, is a reinvigorating respite for fugitives from a hectic life, and coupled with the personalised care that the family lavishes on each guest, creates an environment, one that is more a home than a hotel. |
